Overland Trade and Tiiavel. The Daily
Champion, published at Atchison, Kansas, in
its issue of January 3d, publishes an accu
rate statement of the amount of freight
shipped from that point across the plains
during ?bo year 1865. Seventy-seven firms
ami individual freighters are encnered in this
trade. The aggregate amount of their ship
ments during the past year was twenty-one
nnd a half millions of pound", assorted mer
chandise, requiring twenty-five thousand
wagons, seventeen thousand mules and
horses, twenty eight thousand oxen, and
employing npward of five thousand men.
Over half of thisfre'ght went to Colorado,
the remainder to different points in Utah,
Montnna, Nevada, Idaho and New Mexico.
The total capital invented in this business is
over six millious of dollars. The coaches of
the Overland route, which arrive nnd depart
daily, have taken out and brought in during
the year over four thousand passengers, and
brought in $2,400,000 in ppocie. Freighters

leaving here every day by this route, and
have been for the last three weeks." The
air-line" consists in going by Fort Hall
andVirgiria City, which is about as near
traight as the route by which the United
States mails are brought froc. the States, by
Sicrameuto, Portland, the Dalles to Walla
Walla.
Indications of the great conflict between

tbe opposition of the Ministry, by forty-nine
votes against eleven, an amendment of M.
Jesperen, to tbe effect that nobility, titles
and rank should not be conferred by the
kingj or acquired by right of succession.
A psason who has devoted much attention
t politics in years past, mirth to lit" own fi
nancial detriment, in a recent letter thus sue
cintly sketched bis present simple code ;

nothing to do with any other until these are
secured :- One being to get butter lor my
bread ; the othor to get bread to put it on."
